Kenb Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 @Backstreetniter Hi Jordan, another fine release and story following on from The New Loves/Gambrells story & Pioneer Studios. I guess you already know some, if not all of this (but in case); Gary started 2 labels, one of which was Empire intended for R&B and Pioneer for Rock and Roll (as your photo shows -Pioneer Exterior Shot - Notice Window; Empire Records / Pioneer Records). Gary anticipated releasing his first 8 records on/by Sept 1st 1966 ( he'd been in operation 5 months then). Not just 21 year old Gary Rubin but also Sherwood "Woody" Swartz and Alan Sussman. I once saw that The Detroit Vibrations (who became The Finest Our) recorded at Pioneer. By the way, i'm not convinced they morphed into Fridjid Pink as Discogs & JM have it. Anyhow i do believe Dan Mason was organist with The Detroit Vibrations but never found the others. Maybe you know?. Interestingly but perhaps coincidentally The Detroit Vibrations could often been found playing at The Empire Club, a gambling casino (which became Cal & Jerry's), Collinsville, East St. Louis.
